Use some digital stamps from Lili of the Valley to create these bright and cheerful birthday cards for children
If you love the effect of stamping but do not like the colouring in, then why not use some digital stamps. In todays blog, I will show you how to create a bright and colourful child's birthday card using some digital stamps by Lili of the Valley.
For a small cost you can download these images to your computer and use them time and time again. They come in different sizes and you just print out what you need. Lili of the Valley also do digital stamps that you can print and colour.
I show you how to make a tiger birthday card but if you go to the bottom of my blog page you will see how the same card can be done in different colours with a dog cupcake image instead.
Follow the below link to find out how the card was made
